U.S. retail giant Toys 'R' Us has removed from its website action figures depicting characters from the award-winning AMC show Breaking Bad, which is about a high school chemistry teacher who turned to meth cooking for the purpose of covering his hospital bills.

This doll depicting the show's main character Walter White in his amoral, drug-dealing "Heisenberg" persona comes complete with hat, sunglasses, revolver and a bag of the show's characteristic blue crystal meth.

The action figure depicting his assistant Jesse Pinkman wears coveralls and a gas mask to protect him from the dangerous chemicals involved in manufacturing meth.

When Florida mother Susan Schrivjer saw the action figures for sale alongside G.I. Joes and Transformers, she was "very shocked and appalled," she told the Today Show.

So, Schrivjer created a petition on Change.org, calling for Toys 'R' Us to "remove Breaking Bad dolls from their shelves."

In a statement to NBC News, Toys 'R' Us said:

"The product packaging clearly notes that the items are intended for ages 15 and up, and are located in the adult action figure area of our stores."

However, several Toys 'R' Us locations in Tampa, Fla. have voluntarily removed the Breaking Bad toys from their shelves and they're no longer listed on the retailer's website.

The move comes after a south Florida mother started a petition. The Fort Myers woman said the action figures dressed in hazmat suits and gas masks are not appropriate because they promote drug use.

On Twitter, some people shared Schrivjer's concern about action figures from the cable TV crime drama being sold at Toys 'R' Us.
